I am...... a distant
cry came over the years
a crumpled pile of old broken
cares wasn't so much but I called
it home some where between
the time I arrived and the
time I move on may
lie the reason

why

I am

Speaking of ghosts, wouldn't you know here comes mine again...

Oh, my! I should get my eyes checked! I thought the first line of your poem read that you were a dentist!

I'm glad that you shared how you came to be the I am that you are!

Isn't this a rousing great challenge?!?

I don't just enjoy what you write, but also how you think..it makes me smile every time it opens a door for me.
